A researcher studies the relationship between the number of hours of sleep per night and the performance on a memory test. Stady participants are randomly selected to get no sleep or sleep in 1-hour increments, up to 8 hours total (that is, the participant gets 1 hour, 2 hours, and so on, up to 8 hours of sleep). The researcher determines that the association between the two variables can be modeled with the linear equation p= 9h 15, where his number of hours of sleep and p is the percentage score on the memory test. Use the slope in the equation to describe the association between the hours of sleep and the performance on the memory test

The slope of the equation is 9, hence the percentage score increases by 9% for each hour he sleeps.

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the y intercept.

Let p represent the percentage score on a memory test after sleeping for h hours. Given:

p = 9h + 15

Since the slope of the equation is 9, hence the percentage score increases by 9% for each hour he sleeps.
